"EVERYBODY'S GOT ONE -- What Will You Do With Yours?"SCHOOL PROGRAM OR WORKSHOP : Middle or high schools, colleges and up; or interactive workshop for public & private venues FORMAT: School Program starts with a reading, by either the presenter or a participant, of a poem-riddle entitled “Everybody’s Got One.” The students will be invited to guess the answer to the riddle, i.e. --a “Dream” -- which will lead into a talk about the THREE THINGS we already have that will help us dream our dreams and do them. Workshop Program includes interactive discussion, sharing of dreams and exercises. PROGRAM SUMMARY: No matter what our age or life circumstances, we all have a dream of some kind. Some have always known what their dreams are, some are still forming their dreams, some forget their dreams for a time, and some “lucky ones” are living their dreams -- and their dreams-come-true are making new dreams! Whoever and wherever we are in our lives, have ever been or not, there are THREE THINGS we already and always have that if we use them, will absolutely make our dreams not just something we feel or hope or wish for, but a walking talking reality! Those three things are: for showing us what our dream is…. 2. FEET for getting us there….and 3. A SMILE for making the journey fun. HEART shows us what we love and where our talents lie, which is the stuff that creates our dreams! Heart gives us inspiration, enthusiasm and willingness -- and the courage to keep going when our beginner’s luck runs out. Heart also gets our imagination going and gives us the creativity to turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones and obstacles into opportunities. Heart is what we follow even when our feet still can’t find a road. For especially, heart is meant to be our compass during the sometimes meandering ways of our dream-journeys so that we and our dreams can find our true-north place in the world. [Here we'll invite discussion and interaction around heart-stuff, naming what you like to do, think or read about, what you like enough to keep doing even when it’s hard….] FEET give Heart a “leg to stand on!” Feet give our high-flying dreams some solid ground through education, training, experience and our chosen career paths. Feet enable us to always take the next step from wherever we are, and to keep going no matter what by simply putting one foot in front of the other. Tired feet also remind us when it’s time to restore ourselves with some downtime, good food, fun and relaxation! Determined feet help us to skip, dance, run and take the quantum leaps toward our dreams that heart-driven feet are capable of! [Here, discussion about how to use education, knowledge and experience to explore and expand your dreams and what you can do with them; also discuss nutrition and how care of the body gives dreams strength and stamina, and how rest is like a free-download of smarts and focus ability -- and your own personal reset button!] A SMILE makes life smile back at you! A smile decorates any room you walk into. A smile opens doors, melts walls and builds bridges. A smile makes you and the other person feel better, no matter what is going on around you. A smile is like your heart shining on your face, and it has the power in a split second to light up the other person’s life all day long. Oh, and yes, smiles are the most instantly contagious thing there is! (Like, if you have a cold and kiss someone, chances are it’ll take a day or two for them to get sick -- but smile at someone, and they’ll pretty much get a smile on their face in a toothy flash!) A smile even makes the other person want to help you. And not only does a smile make your dream feel lighter, but your dream actually does get lighter if someone wants to help you carry it to the next place! What a smile is really is a positive upbeat face to the world -- in fact, a smile says that you have a heart inside that is willing to face the outside world. And a smile, guaranteed, will make that world a friendlier place wherever you go! [Here share some stories about smiling/smiles, i.e., positive attitudes, that made a difference in your or someone else’s life in that moment.] |
